I’ve heard this quote before, and I guess I interpret it differently than you do. For instance, your greatest hope — to do what you were meant to do. Your greatest fear — not being able to do that. To me, those are two opposite things — you fear NOT being able to have what you want. Strictly speaking, if you were truly to fear what you want, then you would fear that AS A RESULT OF doing what you were meant to do, something bad might come of it (losing friendships along the way, for example). So, you get what you want, but you lose something else in the process, or cause someone else to lose something.

One of my greatest fears is losing my ability to communicate — verbally or otherwise. I can’t imagine that I would want that under any circumstances.

Totally see that – but I guess I just jump a step.
Greatest desire – to get what I want.
Greatest fear – to not get what I want.
What do I want: to do what I was made to do – regardless of if I want it or not, but because it’s for others.

Ooh, I would definitely fear losing the ability to write – what a nightmare!
